Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2002. Those with birthdays today: Maximize your life's potential. If you feel wound up, as if you have no other choice, stop. Step back, because when you're in this mood you often cause yourself a major hassle. An anchor in your life sometimes feels like a hassle; who or what this albatross might be could vary. If you are single, you might not want to settle down, but you are likely to meet quite a few interesting people who you would like some form of relationship with. If you are attached, your relationship will grow because of your willingness to explore different types of thinking. You could fall into trouble with black and white type thinking.

The stars show the kind of day you'll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
